Jesus Christ is the Son of God, yet He would not walk among the Jews. ( BECAUSE THE JEWS SOUGHT TO KILL HIM, AFTER TESTIFYING THE TRUTH.)
The brothers of Jesus acted as if they believed in Jesus, ( Christ knew who they were that believed not.)
Jesus made it clear why the world hated Him, because He was testifying of it, that its works are evil. ( AN EVIL WORLD CANNOT BEAR TESTIMONY AGAINST IT, and MUST KILL THE TESTATOR.)
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
John 7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Then the Jews witnessed how Jesus was testifying against them, boldly, and how they were unable to take Jesus into their custody. ( HIS HOUR WAS NOT YET COME.)
John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
John 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
John 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
The officers sent to take Jesus did not bring Him to the Pharisees, who replied that is them being deceived. ( that the people who know not the teaching of the Pharisees, are cursed, and how no Pharisees believed on Jesus preaching faith.)
John 7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Then knowing law, and rules, it not only is not faith, it keeps everybody from the faith, because it has no kindness, no tolerance, no love, ( no knowledge of the love of Christ as we see in this example of the Pharisees.)
Law and rules we saw, resist against the wisdom of God, law and rules do not believe all things, law and rules reject them instead.
Proverbs 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
1 Corinthians 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
